"Old family favourite for morning/afternoon tea/snack with a smear of butter. Fills the kitchen with a beautiful aroma when cooking. Also we freeze slices in an air tight container for the DH to take to work."

Ahhh the advantage of having a parent who posts all their recipies online. When I want one I can find it. Been thinking about this cake for aggggges got a new mixer so made it to test it out. Yum yum did not disappoint. A slice is most lovely with some good quality butter either cold or warmed up. Also nice if warmed up on a flat sandwich press (but don't squished) so it's a tiny bit toasted. Yum yum yum.

Very good and easy too. Smells wonderful while cooking and even while cooling. I used a bit less butter than called for - 1 stick of butter which is a bit less than 125 grams I believe.Thanks for sharing!
